Answer 1

Tell your girlfriend I'm sorry for the situation she's in. If she doesn't want to go to relatives, or a foster home, tell her to see if she could find someone to live with. Maybe a friend at school or a family friend. If her parents won't let her, she needs to call before she ends up killed. I'd rather go to a foster home or relatives home instead of being dead. She needs to call for help. Please try to make your girlfriend consider this. I hope I helped.

Answer 2

It is great that you love her enough to ask for advice. She must be really special. However, if you do report it to the authorities, will she understand your motives or resent you? Might I suggest that she needs, with your support, to be the one who makes the decision. In the UK we have childline, which is an excellent organisation. The nearest equivalent which I could find for the US is the National Runaway Switchboard, which does seem to offer the necessary confidential assistance which your girlfriend seems to need: www.1800runaway.org . The website also has a freephone contact number.

Please do not try and cope with this all by yourself. See if you can persuade her to speak to someone in confidence or to at least let you.

I hope that helps. Good luck.

Answer 3

You can call the police. Child abuse is a felony, and her parents could serve serious time in jail, but it's the right thing to do. you cant let a friend go through that.

Answer 4

Perhaps you could take her with you to some safe person's house/classroom and ask HER to tell them what she told you.  If there is someone who is trustworthy - like a teacher or a counselor - then SHE will be the one spilling the beans.

A girl in this position is better able to decide what she prefers - to stay or to go to a safe home.  She is the one to decide.  But you have an obligation to make her think about telling the truth soon, to another adult.

Answer 5

I would go to a teacher or a counselor at your school. I know she doesn't want anyone to know but at this point, her life is in danger and she needs help. Make sure you are there for her because she definitely going to need a friend in her corner.

Answer 6

i think that you must respect her wish and donnot tell anybody because if you do you will earn her trust

Answer 7

Unfortunantly that is what has to happen if you both want this to stop. First the county will try to find her family within the area and ask them if they want to take her in. If not she may be put into a group home with other kids, till a foster family became available. And believe it or not, not all foster families are evil and murdering rapist, that's what background checks are for. Sorry just trying to lighten the mood. But don't try to take action unless you are 100% sure she will be removed at once. Cause if you think its bad now, it will only get worse when the county agency isn't around to watch them.
